Paul you need a spare pair of wheels with new tyres already fitted

I managed to pick up a lightweight rear for £9.99 on ebay and already had a spare 916 front, so 'Sorted'

Well, you can say do-or-die, or wait for a better opportunity. Personally I would like to be there at the end of 18 laps. Outbraking someone into Edwinas is deceptive, and if you make a mistake you have often collected someone before they even knew you were there (someone narrowly missed taking my nose off last year, but I was lucky). This isn't directed at anyone in particular, I would just like us all to go home in one piece.

So will I... from Home in Northampton (40mins away!). I'll be up there Friday, but doubt I will do every session. Just have a nose around and see what sort of pace everyone has (oh, and figure out my gearing).

PML Paul, but to be fair at Brands this year it was a case of Big Boy Bradders coming through step aside.

Dukeman358,

I like this sentiment & second it. Accept up front the fact that racing is dangerous so be as careful as possible, for you and everyone else you race with, while having as much fun as possible. If one day you have an accident then so be it, just put it down to making your own decisions as an adult and living your life to the full.

Best regards,
Andy

It is all a cunning ploy to get everyone to slow down whilst I slip away in the lead!
